Sunday 24 July sea kayak trip for experienced paddlers UPDATED

There will be a trip on Sunday 24 July, for paddlers who are experienced in paddling on the sea, eg from around 3* standard upwards. Location will be decided nearer the time. Given the parking situation and warm weather it will be an early start.

Wind forecast is F4 /6 from the South for most of the day. Surf forecast is 3-5 foot at Wembury, so the conditions are quite strong. It is a day for venturing as far as we feel comfortable, and with a calmer option available depending on what we find. This leads to Kingswear as the best option. Meet 8.15am at the club (avoids the busy time at the club) or 9.15am at Kingswear small slipway near the yachtclub.

Car sharing is a good idea, as may be loading up on Saturday evening. Please suggest what works, I am currently in London and won't be back until late on Saturday night.

Maximum 8 people.

    Happy to car share but would prefer to avoid trip into Exeter on Sunday morning. I can lend someone my old red boat if anyone wants to use that and come by my place before setting off? No plans on Saturday evening so could drop into Exeter on Saturday.

    Kwinten. Works for me. Happy to drive. I just want to avoid the detour. Sounds like you need to pull an all nighter? If you need to bail at the last minute disappointing but no real issue for me.

    I would like to join you - meet at Kingswear. Maggie - do you want to share transport from Widdon Down again?

  • Maggie_WatsonMaggie_Watson
    Thanks Nigel. Yes, that works well. Did it take about an hour from there last time? So 8.15? But you say what suits.
  • Richard_KnottRichard_Knott
    I will head to club for 8.15 and we can work out lift sharing from there.

    I'm dropping out I'm afraid. Hope you all have a good day.

    Good day out, thanks everyone and especially Jane for leading. 21.3 km by my GPS, for the record.
